Advanced (EA, TS)5-6 hoursFuture operating model scenarios + AI-native organisation design principles + transition pathway + Communication Structure Heatmap

How organisations will need to restructure their technology capabilities, teams, and governance as AI, automation, and platform thinking reshape what it means to run a technology function.

...technology organisations still assume humans do all work — all coding, all testing, all monitoring, all documentation. AI now handles routine versions of these tasks. If roles aren't redesigned, humans are...

Platform Thinking

Intermediate to Advanced (SA, EA, TS)5-6 hoursPlatform strategy canvas + internal platform design guide + shared capability register

How to shift from building one-off solutions to building reusable internal platforms — shared foundations that allow teams to deliver independently without solving the same problems repeatedly.

...data access, storage, processing. Data catalogue, streaming connectors. Developer tools — templates, documentation, golden paths. Service templates, API scaffolding. Platform maturity levels: L0: Documented...

Delivery Metrics That Mean Something

Engineering Managers, Tech Leads, VP Engineering, CTOs3-4 hoursA delivery scorecard — four DORA signals plus a five-dimension maturity baseline with one named bottleneck

How to replace delivery dashboards that measure activity with signals that tell you which dimension is actually holding delivery back — and what to fix first.

...what they measure. Most maturity and delivery assessments fail for one of three reasons. They measure documentation, not behaviour. A framework is documented. A diagram exists. A policy has been written....

Fitness Functions Instead of Review Boards

Enterprise Architects, CTOs, Review Board Members, Engineering Leaders3-4 hoursA three-tier fitness function plan — your first three invariants automated, and the board agenda they retire

Batch review cannot govern continuous change. How to encode architectural invariants as automated checks — and what still belongs to the board.

...verified? If more than half the items were approved without meaningful discussion, your board is a documentation exercise, not a governance mechanism. Write down the percentage before moving on — you...

Operating Model Choices

Advanced (EA, TS)5-6 hoursOperating model design canvas + team topology guide + Conway's Law application worksheet + Communication Structure Heatmap

How the structure of technology teams shapes the structure of the systems they build — covering Conway's Law, centralised vs federated models, platform teams, product operating models, team topologies, and designing the organisation that produces the architecture you want.

...secrets management. They don't write application-level security logic. Developer experience — templates, documentation, golden paths. They don't build features. Platform success metrics: Adoption rate — %...

How to understand, measure, prioritise, and reduce technical debt — the accumulated cost of shortcuts, outdated decisions, and deferred maintenance.

...environments, no IaC. Detected by operational review. Medium cost — slows delivery, increases risk. Documentation debt — missing or outdated docs, tribal knowledge. Detected by onboarding feedback. Low-medium...

Developer Experience as a Control System

CTOs, Engineering Leads, Platform Engineering Teams, Engineering Managers3-4 hoursA delivery friction map across four sprints, one named constraint pillar, and a traced DX-to-delivery signal

DevEx is not a perk — it is the set of operating conditions that governs how fast and how safely change moves through your delivery system.

...one. They optimise tools without mapping the system. A new IDE is deployed. The CI pipeline gets faster. A documentation portal is built. Each investment is evaluated in isolation, and nobody maps the delivery...
